Aloha Friday!

An Island Life is hosting Aloha Friday.. I thought it would be fun to participate. All you have to do is answer the question I ask by leaving a comment. Then click over to An Island Life and link up to Aloha Friday with your own question!

My Question is:

The airplane that went down Thursday in the Hudson River..was pretty amazing. What a miracle! It sure puts our life into perspective huh? What would you change today..if you survived an airplane crash? Would it cause you to make different choices? Would you think twice about your eternity? (sorry a lot of questions)

My Answer:

I think that I would change everything.. I think I would want relationships repaired.. My days would have more meaning.. My kids would seem more special.. Funny thing is why.. does God have to bring us to our knees before we appreciate what He has given us..

Yesterday was just news to me. I truly appreciate my life now. There are always changes that can be made, but nothing life altering. I made those type of changes back in 1994 while living in Northridge during the earthquake and having my house, life and all my belongings destroyed around me.

hmmmmmmmmmmm good one. to be honest i probably wouldn't change too much.. after having the girls last year, my life has been focused on my family... wait, i would probably focus more on religion... and myself more...

I just found myself being so happy this morning when I thought about it... truly a miracle. I can't really imagine how I'd change my life but I think it would be impossible not to. I'd probably wonder what I'm supposed to do with my life and try to live it as if each oment is precious to a whole new degree. Since everyone survived this, they won't have to deal with survival guilt which can be so horrible to get past. Great question.

A little about me...

It is that time again!!!! I am thinking of attempting to lose weight for the 100 millionth time. haha. This time I know it will work :)

In November of 2007, I gave birth to my second child, a C-Section. Not only did that put me back physically, but I also developed high blood pressure. I am only 29. Talk about discouraging.

I started gaining weight in highschool. Seems to have followed me everywhere. My ultimate goal is to lose 120 lbs but I'll settle for 10 right now. haha.

There is absolutely no reason why I cannot succeed in this weight loss endeavor. I have exercise equipment. I guess that means I have to use it. Also, I am going to attempt the Carbohydrates Addict Diet. I have had some success with this in the past.

So I am thinking, with putting my progress out for the world to see.. it will force me to make the right choices. Let's hope!! Feel free to comment on anything or tell your story. It's always encouraging to hear about others successes. Join me on this weight loss journey...My Weight Progress:

America's DEBT very disturbing.
